Pity about the black engine. Sorry, just one of my quirks. Give me an engine au natural any day.

Yea. I would take that Guzzi, if I had and extra $15,000.00 . Since I don't it's a Honda CX for me.

Have you ridden a Guzzi lately bill?

I mean a new one?

God awfully silky smooth rumbling heaps of power.....

Makes the older ones ride like child mopeds.

I think (and no one's comparing) that someone should place a call to BMW and make them date Guzzi just to compare notes from science class.

        Actually, I have never ridden a Moto Guzzi. I've just kinda gotten to liking some of those models. There's just something about them that gets my attention, you know? Now, I wouldn't particularly want one that was loaded for touring though. At least not at this point in my life.
